| You know, I'd like to see a little more respect for people, and for the | reports they make. Yes, it would be much better if operational staff | from each of the Fortune 500 companies and larger tertiary operators | came to the IETF and spoke for themselves. They don't, and that doesn't | make their opinions or requirements irrelevant.
I do (sort of) apologize for the tone of my email but I simply don't understand how the debate in the IETF will survive the trend to replace technical argument with "My Fortune 500 customers tell me foo and thus foo it must be.". Please tell me how that is fundamentally different from voting based on (in some way) market share.
Don't take me wrong, I am not an air-headed academic who fails to understand the importance of beeing able to sell the solutions to people who are willing to pay for them.
